NPENA general
meeting/picnic:
North Park Estates
Neighborhood Association members counted as 27 adults and two children attended
the Annual Picnic held at Mrs. Johnson’s place on 11301 Eubank.
Larie Amsler, Vice President,
in the absence of David Nuhn, opened the meeting with introduction of Amber
king, City of Austin Office of Emergency Management. Amber distributed material and discussed city’s role in case of
any disaster and what individual families may do to help in a crisis.
Treasury balance dated of
10/1/04 is $1139.88 in General fund, $114.00 of which is designated as flower
fund.
- Motion was made to accept current board slate
for another year, which was seconded and approved by those present. Wes and Mary Allen volunteered to serve
as members at large.
- Discussion followed on Petition to City for
change in name from North Park Estates Homeowners’ Association to North
Park Estates Neighborhood Association.
- Discussion followed on “C14-04-0133 - LAMAR VENTURES OF PARTNERSHIP, By:
Crocker Consultants (Sarah Crocker), 11800 North Lamar. (Walnut Creek). FROM DR; LO; GR-CO TO GR. ALTERNATE
RECOMMENDATION: GR-CO; LO- CO. City Staff: Sherri Gager, 974-3057.” On October 22, the city council held
hearing on the subject and our neighborhood association deferred to Walnut Creek Neighborhood
Association representative to speak on the subject. Decision was deferred by city for two
weeks. NPENA concern is that if
zoned as GR any business will be allowed on the site. A.J. Walker discussed need to fight
against a GR zoning. A.J.
mentioned also that nothing would be allowed to be built within 200 feet
of the creek.
- A.J. Walker presented a concept for the entrance
sign, which has been damaged. The
two entrance signs are on city property, but NPE has been allowed to have
entrance signs at entrance of North Bend and Lamar. However due to damage of the sign, the
neighborhood needs ideas on repairs or replacements. Mary Allen presented motion to create a
committee to improve or replace entrance sign, which was seconded by Tom
Miner. Motion approved by all
present. The entrance sign
committee members who volunteered were the Sandra and William Alley, Tom
Miner, and A.J. Walker.
- A.J. Walker presented the draft of NPENA
bylaws. Tom Miner proposed that
bylaws start by stating “formerly North Park Homeowners’
Association…” Final action of day
was motion to accept the Bylaws as reviewed and noted above, after an
attorney reviews the Bylaws.
Motion seconded and approved.
